trade networks black death -questionspossible points: 25read the paragraph below from the section death and labor. plague reshapes european economies.feudal lords ruled over peasant workers at the time. after the plague, fewer people meant fewer peasants to work the fields of feudal lords. soon, workers everywhere who didnt die gained more power. they started to demand higher pay. wages in england, for example, rose as much as 40 percent between 1340 and 1360. the result was a higher standard of living. europeans who survived the plague lived longer. the rise in pay created a middle class in europe. and with fewer workers in the fields, people had to get creative. rather than rely on masses of peasant labor, landowners started to raise more livestock. raising animals required less labor than growing wheat. it also inspired technological growth in farming. new plows forever changed european agriculture. they saved labor.which detail from this paragraph supports the conclusion that workers became more important in society after the black death?○ the development of new technology○ the fact that people lived longer after the plague○ the creation of a middle class in europe○ the switch from growing crops to raising animals

Explanation:

El texto indica que tras la Peste Negra, los trabajadores que sobrevivieron ganaron más poder, exigieron salarios mayores y tuvieron un nivel de vida más alto, lo que derivó en la creación de una clase media. Los otros detalles (nueva tecnología, mayor longevidad, cambio a cría de animales) no respaldan directamente la conclusión sobre la importancia de los trabajadores, mientras que la aparición de una clase media es el resultado directo de su mayor poder y mejor situación económica.

Answer:

C. the creation of a middle class in Europe
